Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and prep your workspace.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the jumbo pasta shells until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, squeezed spinach, grated Parmesan, egg, salt, pepper, sautéed garlic, and basil. Mix until smooth.
- Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Stuff each shell with about 2 tablespoons of filling and place them open side up.
- Pour remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is golden.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon extra sauce over each serving.
